Score any place against any hub type. Geography, factors, and market share combine into a verdict — from Not Viable through to Dominant Hub.
Score the place's centrality at each geographic level. A place at the center of its district scores high at district level. Position on major routes scores under corridor. 0 = peripheral / absent. 5 = central / optimal.
Select the hub type you are scoring for. Geographic dependency rating shown under each type — high dependency means geography largely decides viability before any investment is considered.
Select a hub type above to load its specific scoring factors.
A hub doesn't just participate in a sector — it captures a disproportionate share of activity relative to its peers. Score the market concentration this place holds.

Hub Scoring Criteria — Stage 3 of the Development Analysis Framework. Scores are working assessments based on available data and field observation. Geographic dependency ratings reflect the degree to which geography, rather than investment, determines hub viability. This report completes the three-stage analysis sequence: Checklist → Qualification Matrix → Hub Score.
